"Sveti Jakob" je visok 806 metrov in leži v Polhograjskem hribovju. Izrazit vrh s cerkvijo svetega Jakoba je viden že od dalec. Z vrha se nam v jasnih dneh odpre cudovit pogled na Sorško polje, Ljubljansko kotlino, Šmarno goro ter Karavanke in Julijske Alpe s Triglavom.
Podružnicna cerkev svetega Jakoba izhaja iz 17. stoletja, a je bila v potresu leta 1895 mocno poškodovana, zato njena današnja podoba izhaja iz leta 1898. Strop cerkvene ladje je raven, prezbiterij pa prekriva kupola. Na glavnem oltarju je niša s svetim Jakobom in še dvema svetnikoma.
"Sveti Jakob" je znan po maši za domovino, ki je opravljena na "Štefanov" dan, torej dan po Božicu, ko praznujemo dan samostojnosti in enotnosti. Na ta dan leta 1990 so se poslanci prvega demokraticno izvoljenega parlamenta in ministri prve slovenske vlade po slovesni razglasitvi rezultatov plebiscita za samostojno Slovenijo, zbrali prav na Svetem Jakobu.
